Asarwa Mills

We spend most of our time down here at Asarwa Mills on Asarwa Road. Ahmedabad has changed a lot over the years, but we’re still right here in the 380016 area. It’s a busy spot. Most mornings start with the sound of the machines getting going and people showing up for work. There is always something to do, whether it’s checking on the floors or moving things around the yard. It gets dusty and loud sometimes, but that’s just how it is in a place like this. People walk by on the road all day, and we see the same faces often. Being on Asarwa Road means we are part of the neighborhood, for better or worse. Sometimes the heat in Ahmedabad gets to be a lot in the afternoons, so we take breaks when we can. We don’t really have a fancy office or anything like that. It’s mostly just the work floor and some desks where we keep the papers. We've been at this address for a long while now. It feels like home to most of the guys who work here. We just try to keep things moving and get through the day’s list of tasks. If you come by, you’ll see us busy with whatever needs fixing or finishing. It's a straightforward life here at the mill. We don’t do much talking, mostly just doing the work that needs doing. It's nothing special, just a regular day on Asarwa Road.
